Ray Prosser – who would become the coach behind the legendary Pontypool front row – made 13 appearances on the 1959 British & Irish Lions Tour of Australia & New Zealand.
The physicality and fitness that defined Graham Price, Bobby Windsor and Charlie Faulkner began with Prosser and was learned on the 1959 Lions Tour.
Pontypool-born Prosser started the 9-6 fourth Test victory over the All Blacks in front of 60,000 fans at Eden Park.
A famed student of the game, legendary front rower Price said of Prosser: “what he doesn't know about front-row play isn't worth knowing.”
